Press

"Sung with resonant soulfulness, the evocatively melancholy title track [Flatlands] ought to become the Midwest's national anthem."
-The Village Voice
(8/12/08)

"Madison's best country singer/songwriter." -John Mendels(s)ohn
(The Isthmus, 5/16/08)

"While I don't know Blake's music, he sounds like a punk to me - an immature smartass." -An angry citizen, mother and teacher
(The Isthmus, 5/30/08)

"Somber, weary, honky-tonk folk-rock that should suit lonely drinkers as well as anyone itchin' for an old-timey bar brawl." -The Onion

"A near-flawless balance of excellent musicianship, his gorgeous, occasionally shiver-inducing voice and smart songwriting." -Rick's Cafe

"Each tune is carefully crafted, focusing on the intricacies of intertwining instruments as well as the poetics of the lyrics... Perhaps most distinctive of those pieces is the voice of Blake Thomas. Like Robert Plant or Eddie Vedder, Thomas creates a sound I fall victim to every time. It takes only one note to recognize the voice and realize I need to hear more." -The Badger Herald

"Better than the Packers." -Rebecca Kraft

2005 - Best Male Vocalist
(Madison Area Music Awards)

2006 - Best Folk/Bluegrass/Americana Album & Best Folk/Bluegrass/Americana Artist
(Madison Area Music Awards)

Julie	Nov 20 2008 12:20 AM Mr. Thomas- You would be playing in Massachusetts- where I live- on a day when I happen to be back in Minnesota. Remember that one Thanksgiving in Maine...? Hope all is well. Your sound is amazing.
JEREMIAH NELSON	Nov 6 2008 9:00 AM sometimes i walk these streets to an imaginary beat and I believe that life has a pulse and that I've found it
JEREMIAH NELSON	Nov 2 2008 11:13 PM

Walt	Oct 24 2008 11:36 PM Thanks for the 10/15 show at Alchemy. Flatlands is as fantastic as your last two albums. You really have a gift.
MB	Oct 23 2008 5:59 PM spank you for coming on sunday!! but the leaving mysteriously in the night/morning... kinda creepy. we kept expecting you to jump out from the closet or from under the sink.
Trapper Schoepp Band	Oct 19 2008 8:27 PM Blake, It was an honor to play with you the other week. Your set was really rad. I have been playing your tunes a lot recently. Keep up the good work and I hope to see you down the road. Peace, Trapper
